For a long time I have always admired how determined I can be. I always mentioned this quality within application essays and interviews however since starting college, this quality has been tested time and time again. It was one thing to stay determined after one failure or rejection, but it was another to put all my time & effort into achieving a goal and still not seeing the results I wanted. Whether it was an internship, a scholarship, and class exams (mainly this one), it got harder to keep working hard towards these things. But perhaps what was even harder was deciding not to share this with my family. I didn’t want them to know how I was struggling in college. However once I swallowed my pride I finally opened up about the bad experiences I was facing, not just the good ones. It was amazing how well they reacted to it and the advice that they gave me. After that conversation last year, I did what I had to do to for school (such as giving up my summer and signing up for both Sessions A & C) and I haven’t stopped sending in applications for different programs I want to join. I advise for others going through similar problems to open about this and speak with others (such as friends and family) because its amazing how some conversations and rants can help you. Even though I still have more growing to do, I am proud of how I keep persevering despite the different circumstances I have faced. It was hard to admit that I had some failing moments and moments where I let imposter syndrome take over, but now my goal for the rest of my sophomore year is to put more work in so I can stay a determined individual.
